Summary
- The ITAT Rajkot has deleted a penalty of Rs. 67,825 imposed under Section 271AAC(1) on Atul Jentilal Gumasna for AY 2017-18, citing lack of conscious concealment.
- The penalty stemmed from an estimated addition of Rs. 8,78,000 as unexplained cash deposits, which was ultimately restricted to just 10% based on the assessee's trading activities.
- The Tribunal emphasized that penalties cannot be sustained on mere estimated additions without established undisclosed income, referencing CIT v. Norton Electronics Systems (P) Ltd.
- This ruling may influence future cases involving estimated income assessments and penalties under the Income Tax Act.
